Route description

Route 3 begins at an intersection with Route 10 (Southern Shore Highway/Irish Loop Drive) in southern Goulds and heads northwest through wooded areas to cross a river via Raymond's Bridge and have an intersection with a gravel road before turning due north. It now passes through farmland as it bypasses Goulds along its west side, where it crosses over a few local roads including Powers Road and Cochrane Pond Road as well as having an intersection with Doyles Road. The highway now has an intersection with Ruby Line before entering the St. John's city limits and coming to an end shortly thereafter at an interchange with Route 2 (Pitts Memorial Drive), with the road continuing north as Commonwealth Avenue into downtown Mount Pearl.

For the majority of its length, Route 3 has a small gravel frontage road running along its southbound side.

Future

Route 3's northern terminus at Route 2 is also proposed to be the eventual southern terminus of Route 3's "alternate route", Route 3A (Team Gushue Highway). While currently unknown, it is speculated that once that connection is made, the entire route of the completed Route 3A will be completely renumbered as part of Route 3.

gollark: <@160279332454006795> What do you mean "use minoteaur‽?" exactly?
gollark: Thank you for your input.
gollark: See, there are lots of ways I could do it: - the way dokuwiki handles search, where there's a box in the navbar and when you hit enter it navigates to a new page with the results (somewhat slower to interact with, but simple and allows a lot of information with each result)- clientside JS implementing a search overlay/modal so that the results update immediately as you type, except this is kind of not that useful as SQLite full text search is not very fuzzy- a combination of these approaches, where you have a live JS-based fuzzy search thing for page *titles* and the dokuwiki-style thing for most searches
gollark: No.
gollark: Right now it's just this and there is no search box anywhere.
